Thursday Hearing Screenings

Following Indiana State Guidelines, fourth graders have their hearing screened to make sure each student is able to hear and learn in the classroom. Hearing loss may be caused by birth defects, earwax, middle ear infections, viral infections or prolonged and repeated exposure to loud noise. Students in this class will complete the screening on Thursday, August 20. Only those students who do not pass the screening will receive a letter to take home to their parents. Hearing screenings can be conducted upon request by the teacher and parent.
Please contact Mrs. Winings by phone (852-1498 ext. 1127) or by email at cwinings@brownsburg.k12.in.us

Parent Night

Thank you to all parents/family members that wer able to come to Parent Night last evening. It was very enjoyable meeting all of you. I'm excited to get to know your child and anxious for the year to really begin!

If you were unable to come last night to Parent Night, your child will bring home a folder of information today. Please look through the information with your child.

I will always send home more thorough information before we start a big project, assignment, etc so be sure to require your child to share his/her G.A.M.E. Binder with you daily.

Thanks again!
